SEA-DOO Fishing in Lee County Florida | Would you eat a bluefish?! | Catch and Cook

Ойын-сауық

Conditions were blowing hard back home so I drove over to the West coast of Florida to try my luck. The wind was still blowing there too, but I was able to sneak out for a SEA-DOO adventure and I was stoked to find some fish along the way. Lee County is not only known for its beautiful beaches and wildlife, but for their historical fishery as well. I recently learned about their artificial reefs that are great for bottom fishing and some are close enough to dive/snorkel. I will definitely be back to give those a try!
I hope y’all enjoy this video, as always thank you so much for all of your love and support, it means the world!

    I'm from Massachusetts and fishing for Blues is beyond fun. When they're running and schooling they'll hit on an old sneaker and if you know how to cook'em, they're great!

    I'm in CT and we get lots of Blues this time of year, but they still get a bad rap. Bleed them, soak them in buttermilk or mayo, smoke them with Alder and top off with Cajun spice and lemon ..... Yumm! Eating same day and cleaning out the bloodline is a must. That's the perfect size to eat, not the big gators.

    Hey Bri - another awesome video. Thanks for helping the world forget the absolute crap situation we're all in at the moment. I'm being cheeky here ... Loved the new version of catch and release for your bait! ;-) Just kidding. Enjoyed the shorter format - I realize that the weather conditions weren't ideal, so thanks for giving us even this little bit of a fishing mission. Stay safe and well - us folks downunder need a little levity and humour to get through our underpants-tightening lockdown situation. Thanks again ... cheers from Sydney, Australia. :-)

    Your right, up north. But only when nothing else is caught. Cocktail blues , 12-14”. Bleed them right away & get em on ice as fast as you can. I checked out your SkiDoo link. It s missing a small live well. If you can, look up jet ski Brian & look at his set ups. Especially his Double trouble ,Back in Black skis. It has been a while since I last been to his site but….

    Brine for 24 hrs in some sugar and salt in the water. Dry appropriately til you get a good pellicle. Smoke low heat til nearly dry with some brown sugar sprinkled on them. Remove from skin and flake. Make fishcakes the way you like them. Hated bluefish til I learned how to do this. Now I keep every one of them and impress the hell out of people. Do the same with the Spanish.

    When bluefish are small (1-3 lbs) they are excellent pan fried, larger ones are delicious smoked. The oil in them is Omega 3 & very healthy.

    Basically, deep-frying is also one way to cover the fishy taste of the meat. To actually taste the meat, try steaming fish meat. You will be able to tell the differences after that.

    I have eaten Bluefish, there alrite, the key is to cut the blood line out to remove the really fishy taste. Another thing is, don't get them, they are pretty greasy already. I catch them in the Outer Banks NC, all the time, and give them to other people sometimes, or throw them back.They are very fun to catch, good fight and very aggressive, I catch them with a gotcha plug, off piers. Nice Work Bri- ATB .

    HMMM. I might try it again. I caught blue fish at some rigs off of Texas Gulf Coast. Now, I didn't bleed them and the meat was as grey as a king mackerels. In fact it looked so much like King Mackerel that I got them mixed up together after filleting the fish and they all ended up in the same bags. I'll try again, but I'll bleed them before I slide them in the fish bag. Hopefully I'll get better results next time.
